Chengdu Urban Basin
The sprawling Chengdu metropolis and its surrounding agricultural patchwork at the start of the journey.
Daba Mountains
High-altitude ridges and deep valleys forming the natural boundary of the northern Sichuan Basin.
Wuhan Reach
The Yangtze River passing through the massive urban hub of Wuhan and its iconic industrial bridges.
Huangshan Massif
The world-famous granite spires and ancient pines that give the destination its historic fame.
The left side is the essential choice for capturing the Huangshan massif during arrival. Since the airport is south of the peaks, the left side looks directly at the mountain range. Morning flights are ideal as the sun stays on the right, providing perfect front-lighting for the landscape.
